Governor Mike Pence and Attorney General Greg Zoeller: End Indiana's Opposition to DAPA
We call upon Indiana Governor Mike Pence and Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller to withdraw our state from the list of those supporting the Federal case of Texas v United States (against President Obama's executive order) and join with those states, cities, Members of Congress, Labor and community organizations that are in favor of DAPA and expanded DACA.
Why is this important?
On behalf of the Northern Indiana Coalition For Immigration Reform, we call upon Indiana Governor Mike Pence and Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller to withdraw our state's amicus filing in the Federal case of Texas v United States that seeks to end President Obama's executive order providing administrative relief for millions of immigrants. We further call upon our state's government to join with those states, cities, Members of Congress, Labor and community organizations that are calling upon Federal courts to uphold President Obama's executive order that established the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and the expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). It does not serve the interests of the people of Indiana for our state to seek to overturn President Obama's executive order that will allow immigrant families to stay together, come out of the shadows and be full members of our communities.
